Sara Talpos finds out more.<\/h4>\n<aside class=\"article__aside\">\n<div class=\"article__aside__section article__share-buttons\" role=\"group\">\n<p>The Allegheny Plateau, sprawling across northern Pennsylvania and beyond, is an ecosystem of forested hills, with land that supports black bears, bald eagles and wandering turkeys, as well as a patchwork of wild herbs: burdock, jewelweed, chamomile and sheep sorrel. Cellphone reception is spotty and gas stations are few and far between. Tucked away among the streams branching from the Cowanesque river is a cluster of small white and tan buildings, including the office of John Keim, an Amish elder and community healer.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1980s, Keim\u2019s young son was scalded by a pot of boiling water, burning off his skin from collarbone to waist. Hospital care was out of the question. Previously, two of Keim\u2019s cousins had been burned in a fire and spent three months in an Indiana hospital. Every week, relatives had sent letters describing how the children screamed as their wounds were cleaned and their bandages changed. Reflecting on that, Keim says, \u201cI just felt it was so inhumane. I would not ever take a child to a burn unit.\u201d He wanted to be autonomous of what he viewed as a brutal system.<\/p>\n<p>Keim and his wife treated their son at home. Initially, they applied a salve of herbs and wrapped the wounds with gauze, but the gauze sunk into the boy\u2019s flesh. They needed a dressing that wouldn\u2019t stick.<\/p>\n<p>In his book\u00a0<em>Comfort for the Burned and Wounded<\/em>\u00a0Keim writes, \u201cI thought of how God created the Earth. I honestly felt He kept the poor in mind while Earth was being created.\u201d He tried to think of things in nature that might help a poor person treat burns. Hitting upon waxy plantain leaves, he gathered a hatful from a nearby field, scalded them so they would be pliable, and used them to wrap his son\u2019s wounds with a layer of herbal salve. Within five days, new skin covered the boy\u2019s body. He had survived.<\/p>\n<h4>Reference:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>A small study reviewing\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/24668061\">treatment by Amish burn dressers<\/a>\u00a0of patients admitted to Pomerene hospital.<\/li>\n<li>Susan Jones\u2019s study of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/digitalcommons.wku.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1056&amp;context=nurs_fac_pub\">engaging with the local Mennonite community<\/a>\u00a0using a community-based participatory research framework.<\/li>\n<li>Steven Kahn\u2019s discussion of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23107356\">ethics of allowing next of kin to refuse a recommended treatment<\/a>\u00a0in favour of B&amp;W.<\/li>\n<li>In his book\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christopherpublications.com\/Keim_Comfort_Burned.html\">Comfort for the Burned and Wounded<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>John Kein\u00a0explains why and how he developed his B&amp;W with burdock leaf regimen.<\/li>\n<li>Jones\u2019s survey of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22320170\">Plain communities\u2019 experiences of using B&amp;W<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fda.gov\/ohrms\/dockets\/ac\/05\/briefing\/2005-4178b_09_02_Belmont%20Report.pdf\">The 1979 Belmont Report<\/a>\u00a0set forth three foundational principles for experimentation on human subjects.<\/li>\n<li>How the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3477994\/\">Clinic for Special Children<\/a>\u00a0saved Plain communities thousands of dollars by learning to detect, treat, and prevent certain genetic disorders.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/journal.publications.chestnet.org\/article.aspx?articleid=1087805\">The history of the beneficence model of patient care.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/journal.publications.chestnet.org\/article.aspx?articleid=1087975\">The history of the autonomy model of patient care.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 750px; border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/online.visual-paradigm.com\/share\/book\/what-the-amish-can-teach-the-rest-of-us-about-modern-medicine-zkx3bnbma?enforceShowPromotionBar=true\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9150,"template":"","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Best infographic editor guide -
