Lost diagnostic methods -- pelvic cancer

[Guest guest]

On the third day of our seminars program we cover forgotten or

ignored diagnostic methods and lost resolutive therapies. The goal

of course is one of helping the cancer patient attain independence

from those who would control their lives and their purse strings.

One of the easiest tests to perform is a method to determine if there

is a difference of electrical potential between the uterine cervix

(at the fornix) and that of the ventral abdominal wall. If the

active electrode (at the cervix) registers a negative charge, then

there is, with a 95% certainty, cancer of cervix, ovary, or

uterus. If the potential has a positive reading then there is a very

high likelihood of a non-malignant pathology.

Much research was carried out in the nineteen thirties and forties in

major gynecological hospitals in New York. This culminated in paired

trials and one trial of 860 women with cancerous or non-cancerous

pelvic conditions. It became evident that the test was convenient,

inexpensive, and accurate. It will quickly identify a cancer be it

adenocarcinoma, squamous, intra-epithelial, or sarcoma. The

structures studied include the uterus, the fundus, the cervix, the

vagina, the vulva, the ovaries, and the fallopian tubes. The study

included cancer in all stages and metastatic cancer to the pelvis.

Other pathologies or conditions assessed were pelvic inflammatory

disease (PID), fibroids, pregnancy, cervicitis, endometrial

hyperplasia, various post-menopausal conditions, cervical polips,

endometriosis, endometrial polyps, fistulae, cervical granuloma,

atrophic vaginits, leukoplakia, hematrometria, and ovulation.

Can you perform this test yourself? Certainly. All that is needed

is a little conductive gel (saline in aloe), one rubber glove (you

don't want to ground the active electrode with your hand) and a $10

voltmeter from Radio Shack. If you don't have $10 just wait till the

aisle is empty.

It is easy enough to confirm your findings by using thermography, a

radiometer or even suspended pith balls. There are few better

non-ionizing tools than the ultrasound elastogram. We try to make

these available to those doing the program. What are the limitations

of this test? I am less sure of its accuracy in metastatic cancer to

the pelvis as not enough cases have been tested. Sometimes the

active electrode will register as negative when the cancer has not

yet appeared. Give it a couple of years and it will likely become evident.

I am just kidding about Radio Shack. All I need is those people suing me.
