Laughing Gas

Laughing Gas

The day a carnival trick in Hartford, Connecticut revolutionized medicine forever began in December 1844, when a dentist named Horace Wells sat in the audience of a laughing gas show.
He watched as the showman, Gardner Colton, gave volunteers whiffs of nitrous oxide, much to the amusement of the crowd.
Then something incredible happened. One of the participants, Samuel Cooley, stumbled and gashed his leg open. He was bleeding, but he felt no pain at all. He just kept laughing.
While others saw a spectacle, Wells saw a solution to the terrifying pain of surgery. A thought took root in his mind that would change the world.
The very next day, Wells convinced the showman to bring a bag of the gas to his dental office. He sat in his own chair, inhaled the nitrous oxide, and had a fellow dentist pull one of his wisdom teeth. He felt nothing. 🦷
He went on to perform about a dozen painless tooth extractions on his patients. But his career took a turn during a public demonstration at Massachusetts General Hospital in 1845. The patient groaned during the procedure, and Wells was booed offstage as a failure and a fraud.
Tragically, Wells’ life spiraled downward. He became addicted to chloroform and, in 1848, took his own life in a New York jail cell, disgraced and unknown.
But the truth of his discovery could not be buried. Years after his death, both the American Dental Association in 1864 and the American Medical Association in 1870 officially recognized Horace Wells as the true discoverer of anesthesia, a gift that has relieved the suffering of countless millions. 🙏

Plus the 1000’s of other infectious diseases that begin with the letters D-Z. There are literally THOUSANDS.
Take Leprosy for instance.
The reason you don’t fear leprosy is that there isn’t a vaccine for it.
Wondering how many parents walk around daily concerned about their child contracting leprosy? It still exists – by the thousands in various parts of the world. The United States has roughly 200 cases every year. Did you know that? I didn’t until I looked it up.
Don’t you think it’s weird that there was hysteria over 140 measles cases (where no one died or was permanently harmed) and you hear exactly ZERO about 200 cases of leprosy? Everyone knows when there is a measles outbreak. It’s all over the local news here that there are THREE cases of chicken pox in LA (ahem, in vaccinated kids *sips tea*).
How do we not hear about these cases of leprosy? Why aren’t you walking around concerned about leprosy every day? Why aren’t you concerned about someone from another country bringing leprosy into Australia or the US and somehow exposing all of our most vulnerable to this illness?
I’ll tell you why.
Because there’s no vaccine for leprosy.
You are afraid of what we vaccinate for because these illnesses are hyped up all of the time. It’s propaganda. You are told what to fear, so they can then sell you an alleged solution.
Measles and others is a concern for you because you are told that it should be. But you don’t walk around fearing leprosy. Your children haven’t contracted it either.
Funny how that all works, isn’t it?
The only diseases we fear are the ones that a vaccine has been developed and marketed for. We never feared measles and mumps in the early 20th century… Because it’s what the media tells us to do.
