Gustav Freiherr von Pohl - I
The statements made by Mister Pohl are thus unlikely, are so absolutely impossible, that one simply must start brooding over them… This man proves, together with many leading physicians, very clearly and clean up, that certain earth emanations are the source of cancer!
And believe it, he is not very far from the truth. As a reminder: this work was published in 1932.
Besides, he writes that already 50 years before, that is in 1880, certain investigations by a Mr. Haviland had been taking place in London, on the relation between earth radiation and the spread of cancer. And that in Germany the two Mister Dr. med. Kolb and Sanitätsrat Dr. Prinzing made their stand for houses and ground underneath being decisive for the growth of cancer.
More? O.K.! Already in 1914 Professor Dr. Gockel pointed out to the medical profession that a radiation may emanate from the ground which is certainly not without influence on the human body. Also, a very famous medical doctor, Geheimrat Dr. Bach, had reported on the connection between certain earth energies and cancer.
Mr. Pohl wanted to get to the bottom of all this strictly scientifically, and put himself to the task of finding out the carcinogenic earth rays of a whole city, and drew them directly in on a map! After completing this ray-map, it had to be officially compared with the death certificates of the cancerous deaths of the town. This allowed checking if all of these deaths had occurred on his indicated lines. He went as far as not only marking the respective building, but in each case also the death-room.
