TROUBLES OF RESPIRATORY TRACT: COMMON COLD
The Britishers, who go doggedly at things, have been conducting a tremendous research on a windswept hilltop just outside Salisbury in southern England. This may sound foolish to you who know how you catch your colds and have learned from advertising campaigns how to cure them, but, although almost everyone has his own foolproof technique for preventing or curing colds, yet colds are as numerous and as troublesome as ever. The Salisbury investigators have experimented with over fifteen hundred volunteers. They pay the traveling expenses, give free board and lodging and a little pocket money. In this way they get an intelligent, cooperative group, mostly university students. The last I knew, the project had been going on for several years, and the experimenters still believed that colds are caused by a virus or viruses.
These human guinea pigs are carefully isolated for four days to make sure they are not developing colds, which usually occur in from two to three days after exposure. Then they have material placed in their noses. This may be simple broth, egg white, or what have you. In no case does the patient or observer know what has been used. Then many careful observations are made. About 60 per cent of those who actually get infected material respond with colds.
The British scientists think that catching a cold in real life depends on receiving quite a small dose of virus at a time when one’s defenses are momentarily off guard. If this were not so, we would always be having colds, for one of their experiments was putting fluorescein the nose of a patient with coryza (dictionary name for a common cold). The most minute amount of this can be seen under ultraviolet light and they found it everywhere the patient had been: on hands, face, all over the room, even on the food. Now won’t you, please, when you have a cold, stay at home, and not spread your contamination all over town.
One experiment tried at Salisbury was to chill the subjects thoroughly. The latter were soaked in hot baths and then stood about undried in a cold passage as long as they could stand it. In addition the poor unfortunates wore wet socks for some hours. Chilling alone produced no colds. I knew it wouldn’t. I have tried the same experiment on myself thousands of times.
However, chilling plus the virus produced more colds than the virus alone in people kept warm and comfortable. That is what was found at first, and this agrees with the preconceived ideas of everybody. The bane of investigators is preconceived ideas. These people avoided them and as they said, “We were foolish enough to repeat the experiment.” This time, those with the virus alone had twice as many colds as those with the virus plus chilling. There is no good evidence that chilling is the wicked thing that you all think it is.
I realize that there is little in the above that is really believed by run-of-the-mill people, including most of my doctor friends. But this is the first experiment, carried out on a large scale of such a careful nature, that I know of. To my mind it shows that the only factor of importance is infection. Eliminate that and “colds” will not amount to much.
One thing that is particularly disturbing to people with colds is the extra secretion of “mucus.” This is a well-known word. I think you all use it glibly and you mean by it a very disagreeable substance. However, in discussing the digestive system, I mentioned that there is a secretion of mucus all along its extent, and at the upper portion the digestive tract and the respiratory tract are one and the same. This mucus, put there to lubricate and protect, naturally responds to emergency calls, and colds undoubtedly furnish most of these emergencies. Then we get an over-secretion of mucus. The body can’t always regulate furnishing just enough and not too much. The mucus secretion that goes with a cold is a nuisance, but you have got to be philosophical about it. The body’s intention is a right one.
