What issue was that? Have to give your sources, badboy. Don't want to be like the WTS. (all I did was type "appendicitis" and "Watchtower" into Google and voila.

*** Watchtower Jan 15 1912 (reprints p.4963) ***
[Note: not available on 1993/1995/1999 CD-ROM]
It is known that only about three out of every one hundred operated upon for appendicitis really have a diseased appendix needing removal. We give below a simple cure for appendicitis symptoms. The pain in the appendix region is caused by the biting of worms near the junction of the transverse colon with the small intestines, low down on the right side of the abdomen. This remedy is recommended also for typhoid fever, which is also a worm disease. The medicine is Santonine dose, 3 grains, an hour before breakfast; repeated for four mornings, or until all the symptoms disappear. Then one dose per month for three months to eradicate all germs. This recipe is of INCALCULABLE VALUE. Not only will it save the surgeon's and hospital fees of perhaps $200, but it saves weeks of ill health, inconvenience, convalescence and loss of salary.

Thanks for the clarification, Blondie. At first, I thought this might have something to do with biting that worm in the bottom of the tequila bottle.

Is it significiant that Santonin is known as Wormseed?

simplesally
That has to be the worst bit of medical material that the WT published and cannot be true!!!!!!!!!!! Tell me Blondie, is this true?

I had a medical doctor (he practiced allopathic medicine as well as preventative homeopathic) that had me take "artemesia wormwood" herb for 30 days to get rid of amoebas that I had contracted down near Mexico. It worked.

Simplesally, it is true and worse, even more. Woodworth (sp?) was a obsessed health freak. I started researching the universal fear of aluminum pots/pans, the grape diet cure for cancer, and the phobia about vaccinations as well as the trend of many JWs to seek strange alternative (and expensive) health treatments with claims for outrageous cures.
Radio Biola is a private joke between my husband and I when we go antiquing.

LMAO God bless Blondie for always having the references.
I've had appendicitis...... I may have been more freaked out if I had known it was really worms eating at me :)
And why just my appendicitis? Why not something good like my spleen or liver or kidneys? Go figure

I had,chronic ulcerative colitis for 28 brutal years.The WT said it ws caused by 'nerves' (stress) that WT quackery caused me enormous damage.i attributed by symptomology to my own weakness.
It put me on a wicked guilt trip.The real deal is IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) ulcerative colitis is an AUTO IMMUNE disorder.Same goes with stomach ulcers it is caused by a little bacterium called H-pyori and stress,a bad conscience,masturbation has got nothing to do with it.
My bowel finally rotted out because of improper management and I had to have my entire bowel removed and now have a colostomy bag.
If it quacks like a duck it's a duck..
