According to Victorian doctors, an inguinal hernia is rarely caused by an injurious tear or violent "rupture" in the abdominal tissues. It is almost always the result of weak abdominal muscles, which in turn, are a product of a genetically inherited disease known medically as "inguinal hernia." This being the case, since there is no actual physical damage to the body, a congenital inguinal hernia sufferer does not necessarily require surgery. And in fact, because this specific type of hernia is primarily a consequence of inherited flabby stomach muscles, it is usually amenable to self-treatment; namely exercise and healthy lifestyle habits, precluding the need for the scalpel.
Modern mainstream medicine is either ignorant of these facts or is aware of them and suppressing them, for 19th-Century doctors proved in authentic case after case that this simple therapeutic home remedy program worked for a majority of their patients. This method is as applicable and effective today as it was 150 years ago. Thus, if you are a sufferer of reducible inguinal hernia, it could work for you too.
In an effort to bring this buried, centuries-old knowledge back to life, popular author-historian Lochlainn Seabrook has written Victorian Hernia Cures: Nonsurgical Self-Treatment of Inguinal Hernia. Extensively researched, concisely written, and generously illustrated, Mr. Seabrook covers all of the most pertinent details related to herniological science in four information packed, easy-to-follow chapters. Chapter One is devoted to Victorian medical descriptions of anatomy related to inguinal hernia; Chapter Two delves into the causes Victorian doctors believed lay at the root of inguinal hernia; Chapter Three discusses Victorian nonsurgical home remedies for inguinal hernia; and finally, Chapter Four presents the author's own therapeutic program for both the prevention and treatment of reducible inguinal hernia.
If you have been diagnosed with reducible inguinal hernia by a doctor, but would like to avoid surgery due to cost, pain, or recovery time, you will find Mr. Seabrook's Victorian Hernia Cures of great interest, and perhaps of life-changing value. The author healed his own reducible inguinal hernia using the techniques in his book, and he believes that others may benefit as well. It includes an introduction, charts, photos, and drawings, an index, endnotes, appendices, a bibliography, and an in-depth chronicle of 15 documented cases of natural inguinal cures. (Content warning: Some of the material in this book may not be suitable for minors. Parental guidance is advised.) Available in paperback and hardcover.
Acclaimed neo-Victorian scholar Lochlainn Seabrook, whose literary works range from astronomy to zoology, is the leading popularizer of authentic Civil War history and one of the most prolific and popular writer-historians in the world today. A descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens, John S. Mosby, Edmund W. Rucker, and William Giles Harding, he is known by literary critics as the "new Shelby Foote" and the "American Robert Graves," and by his fans as the "Voice of the Traditional South." The Sons of Confederate Veterans member is a Kentucky Colonel, a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and currently the unreconstructed author and editor of nearly 100 educationally enlightening books for all ages. Described by his readers as "game changers" and "life-altering," his voluminous writings have introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts that have been left out of our mainstream books. A 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage, Col. Seabrook is a lifelong writer with a 45-year background in American and Southern history, and is the author of the international blockbuster Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!
