Excerpt from The Proteomorphic Theory and the New Medicine: An Introduction to Proteal Therapy
This book is essentially a Monograph detailing the authors personal discoveries, original theories, and practical experiences in a new domain of therapeutics.
It presents a series of new observations and certain novel theories of which it may unqualifiedly be affirmed that they are important if valid.
As a matter of course, not all these series of new observations and theories are on the same plane, either of importance, of originality, or of verisimilitude. It will be well, therefore, to give a preliminary outline of both theories and practical discoveries, with suggestions as to their relative importance in the estimate of the author. Such an outline will be of value to the reader, both in his preliminary appraisal of the matter presented and in orienting his detailed study of the evidence as given in the text.
First of all, as constituting the most general analysis, I would point out that three fundamental new discoveries are conceived to be represented. These are:
(1) A physiological discovery, to the effect that (a) the mononuclear leucocytes are the agents vitally concerned in beginning hydrolysis, and (b) the red corpuscles the agents concerned with the completion of decompounding of foreign proteins in the parenteral system. This is the essence of the Proteomorphic theory.
(2) The therapeutic discovery that foreign proteins and protein by-products introduced hypodermically into the parenteral system constitute antigens that stimulate responsive activities of the organism of such character as to aid tremendously in the fight of the organism against the evil effect of other foreign proteins of whatever character, introduced by pathological processes, including (a) the proteins associated with the bodies of pathogenic bacteria, (b) heterologous protein products associated with defective digestion and assimilation, and (c) autologous proteins associated with the hyperplasia of various organs, including the so-called malignant neoplasms. This conception, in itself an application of the Proteomorphic principle, furnishes the foundation for Non-specific Protein Therapy in general and Proteal Therapy in particular.
