Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a complete reevaluation of diphtheria, a disease that has long been misunderstood. The author argues that diphtheria is not a vegetable fungus but rather a fibrinous exudation caused by an excess of fibrin in the blood. This excess fibrin is a result of the loss of albumen, a vital element of the blood, through the mucous membranes, especially in the throat and nose. The author provides ample evidence from various sources to support this claim, including the fact that diphtheria is more prevalent among those with weakened immune systems. The book also discusses the various complications of diphtheria, including thrombosis and heart clots, and presents a new and more effective treatment method based on the understanding of the disease as a fibrinous exudation. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, pathology, and treatment of diphtheria.
