AUTOHEMO: ANTICOAGULANTS DENOUNCED 38A16
Dean [38A16, 784] in his article on intravenous autohemotherapy, notes that "Descarpentries emphatically denounces the use of anticoagulants, claiming that any substance that disturbs the physiologic functions of the blood to the point of preventing coagulation, must equally disturb other functions whose aim it is to defend the organism against infection."

AUTOHEMO, IV WITH HEMOLYSED BLOOD, AND MALARIA THERAPY 38A16
Dean 1938 [38A16] , The realization that artificially induced malaria infection might bring about benefit in some cases of neuro-syphilis had fostered "the modern vogue of treating neurosyphilis with mechanical hyperpyrexia" (induction of fever).
Dean 1938 [38A16], 775-6, sought ot improve on this by duplicating another aspect of the "mechanism of malaria", blood destruction, to be used in conjunction with artificial induction of fever. While his is thought to be the first attempt to combine the two components of induced fever and hemolyzed autoblood, he discusses some earlier works from 1923 to 1926 involving hemolyzed autoblood: Descarpentries (1923, 1926) had lysed 10cc of blood in 20cc distilled water, agitated the mixture with marbles, and injected the resultant clear fluid subcutaneously; Zimmerman, 1923, added 2cc of water to 20 cc autoblood and immediately reinjected it intramuscularly or intravenously; and Brunner and Breuer, 1924, placed 14cc water in a 20cc syringe, aspirated venous blood into the same syringe to capacity, and immediately reinjected the mixture without drawing the needle out of the vein.
Dean [38A16], p. 776, "Descarpentries employs distilled water and blood in a proportion of 2:1, lysing 10cc uncitrated blood in 20cc distilled water; he then agitates the mixture in a flask containing several marbles, about which the clumps of fibrin adhere; finally he injects the clear fluid subcutaneously in divided doses - a momentarily painful, but according to him, a very beneficial procedure in various septic conditions."
Dean [38A16], p.778, [Notwithstanding Descarpentries' admonitions to the contrary,] Dean mixed 1 part sodium citrate and 9 parts blood (10-50cc), shaken for 5 minutes, added 15 parts of distilled water, agitated again for 5 minutes, and reinjected intravenously (26-150cc total)
