Elder and better
SO WE have another scare — swine flu — and the public are told not to worry because there are stocks of 'jabs'. We don't know whether these jabs will work, but the fact that we have them comforts us, and we trust doctors, don't we?
The mighty British Medical Association, however, is all of one persuasion — that these magic jabs will do the trick, and we never hear about better and safer alternatives.
The Black Box trial at Manchester Assizes in 1932 was covered by all the newspapers. What the box contained is neither here nor there, but in the dock was a herbalist charged with malpractice after a teenager died under his care.
The judge asked the counsel for the prosecution, who was also a doctor, how many cases of tubercular meningitis 'conventional' physicians had cured. Rather shamefacedly, the barrister replied: 'None.'
The judge was surprised and asked what kind of logic led doctors to consider the herbalist guilty of a misdemeanor for attempting to do what they themselves had failed to do.
Later in the trial, the herbalist brought four witnesses, all of whom he'd cured of this supposedly incurable infection. All had proof of tubercular history and had faced certain death without his herbal cure. His simple cure was elder blossom.
It has a history as a specific in all fevers and although normally used for flu and common colds, it was found to be equally effective in dangerous cases such as tubercular meningitis.
But the big drug firms have ignored all the reports about the curative properties of elder, and people still occasionally die of tubercular meningitis because this wonderful remedy is no longer used. Elder is sold in all pharmacies in Europe, but only in health stores in this country.
