Lord Randolph Churchill, according to his son - Sir Winston Churchill. "In fact, this story is invented from beginning to end. And invented it was an American religious home of" The Power of Kindness "in the 1950s of the last century.
Here are some basic facts that refute the story.
1. The main "mistake" of the story is that Churchill was treated for pneumonia is not penicillin, but the drug company M & amp; B - May and Baker Pharmaceuticals under the name of sulfadiazine. As the nature of itsthe disease was not bacterial, and viral, this treatment was successful.
2. Alexander Fleming - and in the version that is walking around the world in English., is the son of Fleming saved the son of Lord Randolph was 7 years younger than Winston, that is.e. Alexander at salvation was only 13 years old.
3. There is no historical evidence or records that Churchill sank at this time in Scotland or even in any other place.
4. When Churchill was 20 years old, he finished the Military Academy in Sandhurst.At that time his father died, and he had to leave England for a year, so he could not located in Scotland during this period.
5. Fleming, even though he was the son of a farmer, but went away from home, as you can verify by reading his biography on the website of Nobel laureates.
6. Fleming was not a wealthy patron, and he was forced to work to earn a study of what can be found on the same site.
7. Industrial production of penicillin begins in 1943 and is unlikely during illness Churchill penicillin was available even to him.Churchill was ill in 1943 in Tunisia, reports of his healing penicillin were published in two newspapers - probably played a role here patriotism, becausesulfadiazine was a German drug and perhaps here and lie the origins of this tale.
