Cure for Hydrophobia Reported in Africa Palm Extract Remedy
An apparent cure for hydrophobia attributed to Dr Engels in Africa uses an extract from a palm tree injected under the skin. It allegedly causes a fever then subsides, leaving the affected area free of swelling. Of sixty seven rabies patients treated, sixty five recovered and two died of weakness. The report notes patient outcomes and calls the remedy efficacious for rabies in general, with no further verification.
