Many of you have seen this data - but it is worth repeating given the severity of this flu season...
"The Journal of the American Institute for Homeopathy, May, 1921, had a long article about the use of homeopathy in the flu epidemic of 1918-19. Dr. T A McCann, from Dayton, Ohio reported that 24,000 cases of flu treated allopathically had a mortality rate of 28.2% while 26,000 cases of flu treated homeopathically had a mortality rate of 1.05%. This last figure was supported by Dean W.A. Pearson of Philadelphia (Hahnemann College) who collected 26,795 cases of flu treated with homeopathy with the above result..... Dr. Herbert A. Roberts from Derby, CT, said that 30 physicians in Connecticut responded to his request for data. They reported 6,602 cases with 55 deaths, which is less than 1%. Dr. Roberts was working as a physician on a troop ship during WWI. He had 81 cases of flu on the way over to Europe. He reported, "All recovered and were landed. Every man received homeopathic treatment. One ship lost 31 on the way."---Julian Winston
It is very important to understand how deadly the 1918-19 flu was...
Newspaper reports from those years provide a grim picture of the carnage caused by the pandemic. For those serving in the military, the impact of the pandemic was catastrophic. The captain of the World War I troop transport ship the Leviathan would report “The burials at sea began…The transports became floating caskets.” Death rates in military encampments were equally horrific.
“Death itself would come fast… reports were common of people who toppled off horses, collapsed on the sidewalk…We have had a number of cases where people were perfectly healthy and died within twelve hours…One robust person showed the first symptoms at 4:00P.M. and died by 10:00P.M..”
