1780s best treatment for drowning"insufflation of the rectum with tobacco smoke"

[inavalan]

The "entertainment" industry covers dramas, tragedy, reality-shows, too ...

"In the 1780s, medical authorities largely agreed: insufflation of the rectum with tobacco smoke was the best treatment for near-drowning. Therefore, the Royal Humane Society lined the banks of the river Thames with tobacco smoke enema kits and rewarded heroic members of the public who used them to 'save' drowning victims[/u[."

Does this sound familiar? Ventilators, NY, CA, ... Italy, CDC, WHO, ...

Nobody's held accountable; neither the incompetent, nor the profiteer.

Blow smoke up someone's arse / ass Origin and History -

To blow smoke up someone's ass/arse means to flatter, deceive, or lie to someone, and is originally American, dating from the 1940s. The core is to 'blow smoke', which means to deceive, as in a smoke screen, and is implied in the expression smoke and mirrors. The fortuitous addition of the phrase, 'up someone's ass/arse', has led to the false claim that the origin is connected to primitive smoke enemas, dating from the 1700s and even earlier, when literally, blowing tobacco smoke up rectums by means of bellows was thought to cure all sorts of ailments.

False-checkers ...

"I am going to take this instance of your friend's illness however to make a few points of my own, some that may not be too well received. A cure of any kind will never depend upon any given treatment. It will in all cases depend upon the belief on the part of the sufferer that he can be cured. It will depend upon his desire to be cured. It will depend upon the strength of the purpose that an illness serves. It will depend upon, in the last analysis, the individual's own ability to mobilize his own energies, for only these will effect a cure."
—TES4 Session 159 June 2, 1965

In other words ... "insufflation of the rectum with tobacco smoke" worked as well as any modern treatment. Ventilators, vaccines, antiviral treatments, ... only seem to work or not, depending on our beliefs, desires, ... We can blame neither incompetence nor corruption for our suffering. We should focus on personality's development. Surely, we have to individually figure out what that means, how to bypass the social conditioning.

SESSION 162
JUNE 14, 1965

*****

You create, as you know, physical matter on a subconscious basis, without knowing egotistically that you do so. You create physical matter as effortlessly and as smoothly and as automatically , and as unknowingly as you create your own dreams.

The ego is not aware of the manner in which dreams are created. Neither is it aware of the manner in which the inner self creates physical matter. Neither, therefore, is it aware of those distortions that cause it to construct faults within physical matter, for in all cases the physical matter of the human body will be subconsciously created in line with inner conditions.

This can work, and should work, to your advantage. However when there is a distortion, as when an ulcer is created, then we begin what can indeed be a vicious circle, for the idea and the reality of the ulcer is then accepted as part of the self-image. And as such it is then more or less automatically recreated.

*****

such a temporary distortion could become, under certain conditions (that do not operate in your case) permanent.

It may indeed sound like an oversimplification. However, you are exactly what you think you are, and every thought is mirrored in the physical matter of the human organism. This does not happen by some sort of occult magic. It is not the result of some mumbo jumbo. Since each individual creates subconsciously the physical matter of his own image, then it follows that the condition of this image is his own responsibility.

*****

thoughts, then, are automatically translated into physical matter by certain areas of the subconscious. If certain long-standing distorted concepts are held, therefore, then they must be faced and struck out. For otherwise there is an automatic flow of this energy into a false disruptive pattern.

The inner self does indeed have an overall conception of the goals and strengths of the personality. It is then this inner self that must be searched for the answers. I mentioned earlier in another session that the very attempt to seek for an answer to the basic problem will indeed automatically release some of that energy for a constructive purpose.

*****

The manner in which the subconscious translates energy into construction of physical matter, again, has been covered in our sessions previously. However it is imperative that the idea be understood thoroughly, for here we have no vague and nebulous theory indeed, but a most practical and definite explanation of the manner in which you yourselves construct not only your own physical image, but indeed your own physical environment.

(Among others, see the 60th-73rd sessions in Volume 2.)

And that which you have constructed, you then respond to through the outer senses, and you react to what you have subconsciously created. It is important that these matters be understood when you are concerned with how to change or alter a physical condition, for the change will come from within or it will not come.

Inspired by an American First Nations custom, tobacco smoke enemas were administered by medical practitioners in the 18th century to treat everything from colds to cholera.

Follow the science! Lol. We are the placebo.
