Sticking to Dr. Henry Hyde
Salter's view of asthma as being all in your head, he offered the following as proof.
- Many patients feel fine as soon as they enter the doctor's office
- Mental emotion can bring on a paroxysm of asthma
- Mental emotion can resolve a paroxysm of asthma
- Remedies that relax the nervous system resolve asthma, such as tobacco, antispasmodics, sedatives, and nervous depressants. Examples include tobacco, alcohol, morphine, and especially chloroform.
