 Includes NotesNotes for Johann Straka:
Johann Straka was a German Doctor. He never was licensed here in America. Anna was the only one of his children to help her dad so she was interested in healing and grew up following in his footsteps.
Johann made a salve with red lead. This is quite a dangerous ingredient. It was the last thing to be put in the salve and would explode if the rest of the ingredients were too hot. He also had a cancer wax made out of bee's wax and he used Franz Braun Wine to test for cancer. This was also good for healing sores. Many people came to him but he had to be careful because he was not a licensed doctor here in America.
