An exposition of an elaborate 1928 distortion of key research data published in JAMA 13 years earlier; how it helped establish modern dentistry as the most destructive form of pseudo-science in the history of human health; and how it has insidiously corrupted the foundations of modern medicine.

LEARN ABOUT THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF MOST "MYSTERIOUS" DISEASES Most so-called "mysterious" diseases are the result of secondary infections that have spread, through the bloodstream, from "oral foci" -- infections in and/or around teeth and tonsils. This has been proved beyond doubt through the combined efforts of a sizeable contingent of the best and brightest medical and dental minds of the Twentieth Century, and particularly established for all time through the monumental works of Edward C. Rosenow, M.D. (1875-1966). This volume is a tribute to Rosenow, his mentors and his associates. This work incorporates: reference to historical foundations and confirming works; concepts of focal infection and polymorphism; and so-called "autoimmune disease" and the AIDS-HIV controversy from a Rosenow perspective. "I am very concerned that the information you possess regarding Rosenow be protected and disseminated to all." ... "It has already helped me save a life." Christopher J. Hussar, D.O., D.D.S., 1997 ..". perchance it is safe to assume that the 'Rosenow heresy' may yet become the medical guide of the future." Walter L. Bierring, 87th AMA President in JAMA 111 (1938), 1626. "The monumental works of Rosenow have... thrown to earth the false theories of older medicine" C. H. Pierce, Journal-Lancet, Minneap., Aug. 1915, 414-9. "Rosenow's elaboration has been so extensive ... as to almost revolutionize former views concerning infection." William W. Duke, Oral Sepsis Mosby, St. Louis, 1918, 74.

auto (self) -hemo (blood) - therapy Learn why bloodletting reigned as the supreme therapy throughout the history of medicine, and how the mechanism of autohemotherapy may be at least partly responsible for its purported beneficial effects. View modern trends involving the use of bone-marrow and stem-cells, and how these "state-of-the-art" therapies intimately relate to autohemotherapy. Review the history of cancer therapy and the striking reliance on autogenous (self-generated) methods, and share in the wonder as to why the safest and surest approach -- the autogeneous one -- is not more widely used in medicine. Begin to comprehend how many forms of therapy may in actuality owe their effectiveness to the simple phenomenon of enabling the body to do what it must to some extent do every day in order to survive -- to heal itself.
