Cured a Cancer A Doctor Healed Himself
Consul General Guenther of Frankfurt reports a cancer cure attributed to sun exposure. Dr Hirschberg, a Frankfurt surgeon, treated skin cancer on his ear with sun rays after winter sun exposure in Caux les Territet, noting gradual sealing of the lesion. He cites sun-induced browning and protective effects on normal skin, suggesting high altitude winter sun baths as curative. The report mentions sun therapy’s promise and related cases in Alland and tuberculosis relief. Local items follow including a charity box supper, funeral visit, and a wedding.
