COMMENTS - In 1880, Swan published a pathogenesis which contained informa tion obtained from four
provers and from Reichenbach’s experiences from hypersensi tives.
The common effect s of strong sunlight,
such as sneezing, freckling and sunstroke, may be added to the list.
Dr.
Thayer, in 1893 in southern California, wrote a paper on sunlight for a homeopathic journal.
He described
how to “Concentrate the sun rays to a diseased part until slightly burned or charred and then wait until it heals
and then repeat the procedure.”
He claimed to have cured all kinds of cancers, removed birthmarks, tattoos, warts, sebaceous cysts, ulcers,
varicose veins and all other types of benign growths.
“Un like other caustics, it can be applied upon the most
delicate of tissues and it causes only slight irritation and most heal with only the slightest scar.”
Dr.
Thayer coined the term “solar cauterization.” A magnifying glass was used and the sunbeam was focused
right on the skin cancer, until a burning sensation was felt, then stopped.
This would be repeated once or twice
a day.
After a week or ten days the melanoma would fall off and it would heal without a scar.
Thayer had a whole practice based on the ma gnifying glass and focusing the sunlight in 1893 and very few
homeopaths used his methods.
