"Painless irritation of the fiber“ Cooper healed a patient with consumption and transparent skin. If the muscles
cells of the intestinal villi loose iron molecules, they become inert to do their job, diarrhea results. If iron
molecules, inside the cells, are interfered by other substances, the cells become weak. If that happens with ring
muscle cells of the vessels, they dilate which results in plethora of the blood. This is called hyperemia.
Hyperemia is the first srage of inflammation. Ferrum phosphate reverses this condition. Cells resume their
normal activitiy.

with burning sensation. Epistaxis; bright red blood. Face flushed; cheeks sore and hot.
