"If one seeks relief from unbearable pressure one is to eat hashish "
HASHISH PARALYSIS:The Nietzsche legend as created by Elisabeth (his sister) had no place for syphilis (the disease that killed him), so it is ironic that word of his disease might never have reached the public if she had not attempted to cover it up. Her first blunder was to allow access to Nietzsche’s medical records at Basel and Jena to the respected Leipzig neurologist and psychiatrist P.J. Möbius. If Elisabeth had hoped for a sympathetic portrait of the last illness from Möbius, she was sadly deceived. In 1902 he published On the Pathological in Nietzsche in which he not only revealed the diagnosis, though by innuendo rather than by name, but far worse, he suggested that the first indications of mental instability, caused by syphilis, appeared as early as 1881 with the “lightning” inspiration for Thus Spoke Zarathustra
