- Nectrianinum is a clear liquid of a yellowish-brown hue which was prepared by Bra and Chaussé.
- Two month old nectria cultures on grape broth were evaporated on a water bath until red uced to one-third of their original volume.
- They were filtered through paper, and again through porcelain.
- The liquid was then taken to the autoclave at a temperature of 120 degrees centigrade.
- This assured that all spores are killed.
- Observers said that Nectrin caused “An arrest or diminution of hemorrhages.
- Suppression of fetid discharges.
- A tendency at times to epidermization of the neoplasm with a corresponding well-defined arrest in its evolution.” The patients were worse when treatment was discontinued and better when it was resumed.
- In very advanced cancer, reaction may not occur
