Biography
George Springer MD was the discoverer of T and Tn antigens.Lifelong BT researcher, especially regarding blood type substances in natural products.
Theory of Neo-Springerism
Better differentiated cancers (least aggressive) are said to produce a greater amount of antigen T, while the least differentiated cancers (most aggressive) produce the greatest amount of antigen Tn.
Springer's Vaccine
Springer's vaccine consisted of three parts:
- Chemically degraded O-group blood cells (providing T and Tn antigens)
- Salmonella typhii vaccine or typhoid vaccine (which contains T and Tn antigens)
- Calcium phosphate (he believed the T and Tn antigens could stick to this).
