On July 12 last I was called several miles into Alabama to see Mrs. L., in consultation with Dr. A. A. Hatcher, of Huntsville, Ala. The history of the case is as follows:

Mrs. L. is fifty-two years old, the mother of two children, the youngest of whom is twenty- eight - an epileptic; the first – born died in infancy of " bowel complaint." The patient passed the climacteric at forty-seven-five years ago without trouble. Father died of pneumonia, mother of " heart disease; " one maternal aunt died of cancer of the breast. Mrs. L. has always been delicate, but fairly healthy; never strong, but never confined to her bed and but seldom to her room. About January 1,1899, she began to notice, at intervals, slight discharges of blood or " bloody water. " She consulted her family physician, who told her that the discharge was possibly only a slight return of the menses and not to bother about it. He failed to make a vaginal examination, and hence lost the golden opportunity to save the patient. When I was called July 12, six months after first symptoms – I found the discharge was continuous, some days very severe, while other days it would be only a stain.

Upon digital examination I came upon a roughened and infiltrated area about one inch within the vulvovaginal orifice, and this surface extended around the entire canal up to and involving the cervix and os uteri. This surface was very fragile and bled profusely because of the examination. The left broad ligament was greatly thickened and the inguinal glands enlarged and sensitive. She complained bitterly of the pain incident to the examination. I introduced a bivalve speculum, but owing to the extremely fragile nature of the growth I was unable to open the instrument sufficiently to bring the os uteri into view. The portion of the vaginal walls visible was red, bleeding, and very fragile, breaking down under the finger.

The appetite was fairly good and the bowels and kidneys acting about as usual, but she was markedly cachectic. The disease had extended to such a degree that operative measures were out of the question. I gave her, at this first visit, a wash of potassium permanganate, and a tonic of sulphate of strychnine and iron.

Two weeks later the patient was removed to Fayetteville, and after explaining to the husband that cure was beyond hope, I began the local use of a three-per-cent solution of methyl blue in equal parts of alcohol and water. I made an application of this solution every second day, swabbing it over the entire diseased area as best I could. The hemorrhage began to decrease in quantity from the first application, and soon the infiltrated area commenced to grow softer and the tissues became less fragile and permitted an ocular view of the os uteri. In the mean-time I was giving her tonics and alteratives.

When she left for home two months later the hemorrhage had almost entirely ceased. The ulcerated surface had healed-cicatrized-except in the left fornix; in that place there was a small area that refused to heal, and I believe this ulcerated spot was continuous with the infiltration of the broad ligament.

At this writing-four months from beginning treatment-the patient is in very fair condition; sometimes she will go an entire week without a stain, when there will be a slight hemorrhage. The thickening in the broad ligament is, of course, increasing. She is, however, a few pounds heavier now than when treatment was first begun.

I do not bring methyl blue forward as a curative agent for cancer, but as a local application in inoperable cases this one case would indicate that it is very excellent. Certain it is that the hemorrhage was greatly reduced- almost stopped- and the superficial ulceration healed to a great extent.

The patient will soon die, however, from systemic infection.

The local use of methyl blue is not original with me, and I have lost the reference to the article from which I obtained my information, and hence I am unable to give the name of the originator. I read of it in the THERAPEUTIC GAZETTE

Me and my GF decided to do the bleach baths daily as an experiment and for some health problems, we have been having too see if it would resolve them. If you are using Clorox Bleach brand name product like we did, it is much stronger and concentrated then the generic brands sold at dollar stores like “homeline” brand at family dollar or “totally awsome” sold at dollar general and dollartree which are much weaker hence the difference in the price per gallon. We started with 2oz in a full bath tub of warm water. By the 3rd day we both were showing signs of skin peeling. Clorox was very strong on the skin. So, we took a 3 day break to allow our skin too recover and dropped the dose down to a capful. Now for you yankees that don't understand or speak southern speech. A “capful” is the amount of liquid that will go into the cap/top that came with the bottle. We use the cap as a measuring device. I remember my grandmother bathing me and my cousin (we were like 5 years old) in the tub with a capful of bleach because of something we had got into around her farm. Whatever it was, it fixed it. We found that the capful (.05oz?) of Clorox name brand was better tolerated by our skin types and rinsing off the bleach water after exiting the bath also helped remove any residue left on our skin.

In my interview, she said she grew up in rural Kentucky and was advised by her hometown Amish doctor to take a Clorox bleach bath every day for 2 months. She started with 2oz of Clorox name brand bleach unscented in a full bathtub of warm water to see how her skin type would react it. She increased the amount of bleach every time by 1oz until she was up to 4oz (1/2 cup) per bath (1/5000 dilution ratio?). Always start small and work your way up according to skin type and tolerance.

She said the bath water was a brown tint after she got out of the tub. Over time this brown tint got less and less til the water was clear at the end of her treatment.

After 2 months of bathing, she went back to her doctor to get labwork and pap smear, etc.., to see where she was at with the cancer. Her test came back negative across the board.

Science is discovering that Household bleach may help fight cancer

Cancer can develop when the immune system is unable to recognise cancerous cells and is allowed to spread unchecked.

Attempts have been made to prime such people's immune systems by giving them vaccines based on dead cancer cells. The results have been patchy, and seldom trigger immune responses strong enough to wipe out cancer.

Bleach primes the immune system

Now scientists at University College London have discovered that immune cells react much more strongly to dead cancer cells killed with the active ingredient (calcium hypochlorite) in household bleach.

They hope to use this method to treat women with ovarian cancer. The team found that immune cells taken from healthy volunteers were five times more likely to recognise dead ovarian cancer cells killed by bleach than those killed by heat or acid.

Team leader Professor Benny Chain believes this is because white blood cells from the immune system use microscopic quantities of a type of bleach to destroy bacteria. They then recognise and fight infections by the same bugs. The study was reported in the New Scientist magazine.

Now, If you read a bottle of Clorox Bleach, it states, “Kills 99.9% bacteria and viruses including Covid-19”.

When the body goes about killing bacteria, it uses the same thing you might use at home to scour the porcelain: Bleach! Common household bleach -- hypochlorous acid.

Although household bleach can be deadly in large dosage if taken internally, few substances are more important in the history of public health than bleach. For more than a century it has been used to kill bacteria in activities ranging from water treatment to surgery.

Researchers at Oregon Graduate Center led by James K. Hurst have discovered the mechanism by which the body uses bleach to kill bacteria.

When a bacterium enters the body, it is quickly spotted by the immune system and white blood cells are sent to attack it. One of the cells surrounds it and "bags" it, enclosing it in a sack within itself. If the immune system is not working than this process will fail and the individual becomes chronicly ill.

The formation of the sack causes formation of hydrogen peroxide, a common body substance, in the sack with the bacterial victim. Granules from the white cell also dump another chemical, myeloperoxidase, into the sack.

Peroxide and peroxidase together with chlorine molecules make minute amounts of bleach, which then attack the bacterium.

It takes only a fraction of a drop of bleach to kill many billions of bacteria: it is an unusually efficient killer. The reason is that the bleach precisely seeks out and disables the bacteria's most critical element, the molecule called ATP that stores and delivers the cell's energy.

With the central dynamo shut down, the bacterium dies within seconds.

The mechanism is far more efficient than antibiotics. Antibiotics kill only certain types of bacteria, while allowing others to proliferate, a life-threatening problem in burn patients in whom infections are likely.
