AUTOHEMO EXPLANATION; PROCESS OF ELIMINATION - 32A1
Burgess 1932 [32A1], 131: In his investigation of the
underlying mechanism of action of autohemotherapy, Burgess first
proposed that certain possibilities be eliminated:
"(1) The action of whole-blood injections does not depend on the
production of a leucocytosis.
(2) ... no relation between whole-blood injections and the
haemoclastic reation was discovered.
(3) Whole blood injections had no effect on the sedimentation
rate of the red corpuscles as estimated by the method of Zeckwer
and Goodell. (4) ... No constant effect on the production of
proteose by a single whole-blood injection could be
demonstrated."
