An extract from
The Brusch Research for Rene Caisse
which he seems to have failed to keep a copy of.
——————————————————————————–
Breast removed four years previous with wide resection of lymph nodes. In 1959 her X-rays showed carcinomatous involvement of lung and plural effusion.
Onset of dyspnoea in November, 1958. The effusion was removed by paracentesis on April 1, 1959, April 19 and May 15. Patient complained of severe joint pains.
It is readily observed that this was a terminal case when treatment was started in May 26, 1959.
Shortly after the treatment started, the patient’s ability to breathe improved markedly
and no more plural effusion developed.
Phis was significant as effusion had been consistent since April and three Drainings necessary previous to treatment.
The joint pains she complained of before treatment lessened appreciably.
Patient’s comfort and well being improved.
Patient died third week in August.
Treatment on this obviously doomed individual, was only attempted because of personal interest
and friendship of a doctor involved, and for what results might be observed.
