Geophagical Customs

Author(s): Anell B, Lagercrantz S

Abstract

In October 1994, about three years after publication of my Raum & Zeit article describing reversal of ulcerative colitis by use of infusions with venus fly trap (Carnivora®), Herbert Rubin, D.C., of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida telephoned me. Among other degenerative diseases, Carnivora® is effective for eliminating inflammatory illnesses involving the bowel. As a chiropractor alert to all manner of healing, Dr. Rubin was inquiring on behalf of his severely debilitated eighteen-year-old son, Jordan, who suffered acutely from regional enteritis with granulomatous ileitis, collectively identified as Crohn’s disease.1
