ment against the cancer. The fac
is that there are many different meth
DDS in which electricity is used fo
the cure of cancer.
The specialist in the electrica
treatment of cancer must be able t
perform all these different electrica
operations and also be able to us
all the different electrical treatments
First there are the electrical oper
ations. All these have the advantage
over the knife operations, that in tn
hands of an expert they are per
formed without any loss of blood.
The first of these is the operation
with the low voltage current. In ,
cancer that is accessible and has mo-
yet affected the lymphatic glands
this is by far the best form of opera
tion. The entire cancerous growth
is bodily removed, usually in compar-
atively few minutes, and the return
of the cancer in these cases is very
rare. If the cancer consists of an
liberation this is entirely removed
with the same result. DIR. Toel has
during the last thirty years used this
method in many hundreds of cases of
cancer, and it has always given him
the best satisfaction.
The second form of electrical oper-
alton is performed with a medium
voltage current. The cancer is by
the action of the current transformed
into a brown pulp, healing results by
granulation.
The third form of electrical opera
ton consists of thrusting electrodes
into the cancer and from them drive
certain chemicals into the cancer, that
kill the cancer germs and cells This
form is especially useful where the
first form cannot be used, for the cur
rent will follow the so-called roots of
the cancer and kill the germs and
cells in them.
The fourth form of operation as
well as the instruments for it were
invented by DR.. Toel himself 1t con-
sists Of sending disruptive discharge
from medium voltage current
the cancer and killing the
cancer germs and cells by the shocks
from the alterations. DIR. Toel in
vented this method for cases where the
of important organs did
not allow him to use one of the
former methods.
The fifth form of operation consists
of destroying the cancer by means of
a disruptive discharge from a high
voltage current. A very strong outfit
is needed for this, and those usually
sold are far too weak for this opera
ion.
The sixth form of operation con-
;ists of removing the cancer bodily,
Just like with knife, but without
oss Of blood, by means of the disrup-
i've discharge of a high voltage cur
'ent emanating from knife-like but
,lunt instrument. This operation re-
Iuires a more powerful apparatus yet
han the former one.
These are the six different forms of
lectrical operations, which with the
who makes a spec
atty Of cancer, must be familiar from
ears Of experience, if he wishes to
e successful in his work.
Aside from these operative means
here are several electrical methods
f treating cancer by means of cleo
rical treatments.
One Of these is the X-Ray. This is |
ur mainstay in internal cancers, that
an not be reached by any of the op-
rative methods. But it is also very
seful i'll cases of external cancer,
here from some reason or other the
perative methods can not well be
sed. 1t is however quite a different
ling to use the X-Ray for taking a
icture of a broken bone from using
lem to cure cancer, where many and
'equent applications are necessary.
The application of the rays for
w seconds to take a picture can not
, any harm. But no surgeon should
Sc the ray for treatment who has not
lie apparatus to measure their in
nsity, and knows from long expert
ice how to do it, who does not know
rough what substance to filter them
NJ each particular case, and above
| at what time to use them and at
hat time not to.
The second form Of treatment we
I'VE is by the high voltage current.
his can be used in different ways,
ther in contact with the body or
rough the air. The discharge
rough the air can be so regulated
at the patient receives a shower OF
,arks or that he only receives lu-
inous discharge without any sparks
all.
A very powerful apparatus is need
for treatment of cancer by high ,
ltage currents and a coil that does
It discharge at both poles is abso-
tely useless.
The glow may look nice, but there
no volume to the discharge.
All the above shows plainly that no
rgeon should attempt to treat can /,
r with electricity, who is not pro-
led with all the different electrical
paratus and has great experience '
its use.
