The common effect s of strong sunlight, \nsuch as sneezing, freckling and sunstroke, may be added to the list. \nDr. Thayer, in 1893 in southern California, wrote a paper on sunlight for a homeopathic journal. He described \nhow to \u201cConcentrate the sun rays to a diseased part until slightly burned or charred and then wait until it heals \nand then repeat the procedure.\u201d \n \n \nHe claimed to have cured all kinds of cancers, removed birthmarks, tattoos, warts, sebaceous cysts, ulcers, \nvaricose veins and all other types of benign growths. \u201cUn like other caustics, it can be applied upon the most \ndelicate of tissues and it causes only slight irritation and most heal with only the slightest scar.\u201d  \nDr. Thayer coined the term \u201csolar cauterization.\u201d A magnifying glass was used and the sunbeam was focused \nright on the skin cancer, until a burning sensation was felt, then stopped. This would be repeated once or twice \na day. After a week or ten days the melanoma would fall off and it would heal without a scar.  \nThayer had a whole practice based on the ma gnifying glass and focusing the sunlight in 1893 and very few \nhomeopaths used his methods. \nDr. Foubister revived interest in Sol in its potentized form as an antidote for radiation poisoning from radiation \ntherapy with cancer patients.","Head":"Light headed and mentally disorien tated.
